SafeWork licence register

Recent amendments to the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 provide that the regulator must keep a register of certain work health and safety (WHS) licences and general construction induction training cards. This will enable a person engaging a worker to confirm that a WHS licence is valid. Easy online verification of licences will also improve business efficiency, workplace safety and consumer protection.
